Permalink Reply by Karmyn on I could see my son, Andrew, take a bite out of a banana, give the rabbit a bite and take another bite himself! He would alternate bites with the rabbit until they were both full! :)
Permalink Reply by Mera/Feather Story on Our rabbits also loved strawberries and watermelon...actually I can't think of any sweet fruit they didn't like...the rat loves bananas!
Permalink Reply by Macrophage on Just have to say... please don't feed your rabbits fruit on a regular basis! Carrots are common to give them fatty liver (hepatic lipidosis) - what would then a sweetsweet banana do? Overweight or anorexia bunnies are even more in danger :(
Permalink Reply by Karmyn on Since rabbits are herbivores I believe fruit is supposed to be a treat for them.
Cows also are fruit fans. A friend of mine has cows on his farm and they LOVE fruit. They will feast on starfruit, jackfruit, abius and other fruit they find on his land.
Another friend of mine had a melon farm in Panama and the neighbor's cows wandered on his land and ate all of the melons. He was PISSED!
Permalink Reply by Macrophage on Yes, a treat. But it is very common (at least in Swe) that people give their animals too much (not only carrots to rabbits) and that isn't a good thing.
Something now and then - yes
Something you give your animal every day for dinner because "he/she gets so happyyy" - I hope not..
Permalink Reply by pradtf on thx for bringing this matter up, macrophage.
i would back that up having had considerable experience with rabbits over 12 yrs:
and still going strong with rescue operations and sanctuaries:
fruits and nuts should be just treats.
some bunnies may not show adverse effects as much as others, but fresh, organic veggies and greens are the best for them. also, providing a supply of hay is excellent and usually very inexpensive (though be sure it isn't grown with pesticides and stuff - and never, never let it get moldy). grass clipping are usually good too. pellets are ok, but we keep it minimal.

Permalink Reply by pradtf on hi karmyn! nice to see you here again!
nice story.
however, i just wanted to point out that bananas don't eat bunnies, just in case anyone was confused like i was.
in fiendship,
prad
Permalink Reply by Karmyn on Sorry about the confusion prad! Instead of "Banana Eating Bunny" how about "Bunny Feasts On Bananas"?

i don't really deserve such consideration and would feel embarrassed if it weren't for my horns. :D
